One hobby that I have been trying to get back into is reading.
There was a moment a couple years ago where I was reading a lot.
I was reading through so many books and then I stopped.
Life got busy and I forgot how much I loved reading.
I had heard a lot of buzz about the book Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
So many people were talking about it all of a sudden. Everyone I knew were talking about it and then I heard that there was a movie about it coming out.
After watching The Maze Runner at the cinemas with a few friends and seeing the trailer for Gone Girl I knew I had to buy the book.
This style of book is so unlike the type of books I usually read.
I usually reach for fantasy books such as Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Enders Game, etc.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy Gone Girl as it isn't fantasy.
I started reading the book the night I bought it.
I found the beginning of the book a bit slow to get into and it took me a few days to really get hooked.
But once I got hooked I found it hard to put down.
I read every night before sleeping, I took on the train to read on my way to and from uni. I took it to work with me so that I could read it on my short lunch break.
I won't say any details about the book in case you want to read it.
I really enjoyed the book, there was suspenseful moment and moments when I actually laughed out loud. There was definitely times where the plot went a different way to what you may have expected it to go.
I enjoyed some of the twists in the book.
I had heard mixed reviews about the ending of the book, some hated the ending, others happy with the ending.
Personally I didn't like the ending.
I felt the book was leading up to a bigger, defining, amazing ending maybe with a sudden twist but no... It just ended...
I was a bit let down with how it ended.
Apart from the ending I really enjoyed reading the book. It has opened me up to a totally different genre that i never thought of reading before. I think I might look into more books in the thriller genre.
I am excited to see the movie which was written by Gillian Flynn the author of the book. I have heard really great reviews of the movie and have heard that Flynn changed the ending for the movie... for the better.
The next book that I have already started reading is Bossypants by Tina Fey.
Which is again a totally different genre of book that I am used to.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my thoughts on the book Gone Girl.
